Sofia Coppola did a White Stripes video, for I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself. The weird thing about the video is how it encapsulates the major criticism I've heard about the White Stripes.

For those who haven't seen it, it's a woman in a black bathing suit/underwear, dancing on a pole. Kinda' classic rock video imagery type stuff. But it's shot in black and white. Hence lending an arty/lo-fi aesthetic to the proceedings, which otherwise would be laughed at for the classic-rockiness of it all.

I also saw the Michel Gondry-directed Hardest Button To Button video, and Jack White's mustache looks like a turd. The end.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could certainly be one of the very best in its field. Great blog!
